running what?
backup commands or maintainence commands?
whatever it is, RMAN is looking for MML API to talk to the tapes.
Do you have API installed?

You are trying to backup directly to tape using RMAN.
You need MML API for that.
Is that installed? What kind of vendor are you using? veritas/tivoli/legato or what?

hi,

Due to server crash rman script is not working fine.Previously that script was working fine.

We are using veritas netbackup datacenter 4.5 setup.

Can you please tell me how to check MML API is present or not? How to install if it is not there? Where can i get this one?

help me.

MML api is additional piece of software you need to buy ( if you want RMAN to backup directly to tapes).
Talk to your Unix/Veritas guy.
